Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of RCA ANT1500 Superior Flat Antenna (White)
Customer Review: Nice problem-solver for the indoors.
Summary: 5 Stars
After helping a few people convert to digital set-ups, this antenna has turned out to be my indoor workhorse of choice.
Probably most useful for those who currently have set-top loop/rabbit ears and are having trouble with some digital stations breaking up as a function of time, weather, or movement of people in the room.
In 3 of 4 cases (in two different suburban broadcast markets), the RCA ANT1500 eliminated the fluctuations, producing stable results over time, once positioned. The 4th case, a basement TV, has always needed a roof/attic antenna, though the ANT1500 came close, providing stable OTA DTV reception for all but one channel.
In each 100% successful case, DB4 (Antennas Direct) and Winegard SS3000 models were tried first -- I have been trying to get rid of them ever since they didn't work for my personal set up. And I still have not found a situation where the SS3000 provided viable performance.
The ANT1500 always worked slightly better (and at least never worse) than the larger, bulkier DB4, probably to a large extent because it was easier to place.
For example, one site has solid reception on all available channels when the antenna is propped up on the floor against the wall behind a couch. Everybody is delighted with the "invisible" solution. No problem for the ANT1500 ... but not a chance for such a placement with the comparatively gangly DB4.
Some say the ANT1500 is style over substance, but when a couple feet of positioning makes a huge difference in reception, the practical ability to blend into a room can be worth a couple db of gain measured in the lab.
The ANT1500 always turned out to be an improvement over loop/rabbit ears in terms of stability and placement options, eliminating the problem of reception changing when you stopped touching the loop/ears after adjustment.
The coax that comes partly built in to the ANT1500 is fairly short at about 6 feet; if your first try isn't satisfactory, you may want to invest in ~25 feet cable and a cable-connector to extend placement to different areas of a room. Also, before you hammer something into the wall to mount it, you might want to see if you can non-destructively fix it in place for a few weeks to be sure reception is stable before you commit to hole-making.
